A/N: Whaaa! Only one person has reviewed! (to you who did, you rock!!!) L Is my story that bad? If it is, then review and tell me! Well, with that said, on with the story (that no one reviewed ::sniff sniff:: )
Chapter 1"Kagome! KAGOME!!!" Inu-Yasha screamed as he desperately looked for her. He could barley smell her, even with his sensitive nose. "What da'…" Naraku's cloaked form appeared in front of him. "What did you do to her you-" He stopped in the middle of his sentence when he noticed a limp body lying in front of Naraku. "Ka, Kagome?"
Naraku smiled evilly at his reaction of seeing his woman dead. "If you try to retrieve the girl, I will kill you. You will die tonight, but only if you save her will she live. Make your choice, time is running out, she is very weak Lord Inu-Yasha." Inu-Yasha dropped the tetsiga and walked slowly up to the demon. "Let…her…GO!!!" He suddenly jumped towards Naraku. "SANGONTESSU!" As his deadly claws were about to hit, the cloak flowed to the ground, empty. He stopped in front of Kagome's body and just stared. 'Kagome? Your…your dead?!' He gently picked her up and held her close to him. "I have to get back!" With that he ran through the forest at top speed, praying for Kagome, his Kagome, to live.

"Shouldn't they be back by now?" Sango glanced out the door of Keada's hut with a worried look on her face. "They're fine. They've only been gone for about three hours. There is no reason to worry, Sango." The monk used her worry as a distraction as his all to well known hand crept up and…
"HENTI!!!" Sango bashed his head hard with her giant boomerang and he fell on the floor unconscious. "You PERV! Your despicable!" Even as she said this she felt herself lightly blush.
All of the sudden, Inu-Yasha slammed the door open with something is his arms. "Where's Keada-baba! I need her now!" "Inu-Yasha? What are ye yelling about!" Keada walked in from healing some sick villagers. "Oh my heavens! Inu-Yasha, what has happed to the Lady Kagome!" Sango and Miroku suddenly noticed the thing he was carrying was…her body? "What happened to Kagome?! I want Kagome!" Shippo was running around in circles, panicked. "Hurry child, help me!" "Hai." Sango jumped up and rolled out a futon for Kagome. "Put her here Inu-Yasha, I'll go get some hot water," She looked back to see Inu-Yasha sitting protectively over her, nuzzling her cheek a little. Sango smiled to herself, then ran outside to the hot spring.
Keada came in with her strange mixture of herbs and spices in a clay bowl. "Inu-Yasha, ye need to go outside. We can't heal her with you sitting there." He looked at Kagome one last time before going out with a sad, dazed look on his face. Almost like he couldn't believe it. "Brace yourself Inu-Yasha, it be hard to accept, but we may loose our Kagome." He flinched at the thought of loosing her. "She's to stubborn to die." 'Please live, I can't live without you.'

"Inu-Yasha, where's Inu-Yasha?" Kagome had woken up. "He's outside, now please, got some rest." Sango tried to get her to relax, but she kept asking for Inu-Yasha and trying to go get him herself. Kagome fell back on her futon hard, holding herself tight, sweating slightly. "Oww, it hurts. Make it stop! INU-YASHA!!!" She paused and started to cry, her voice softened. "Please…" There was no choice now but to get him and tell him the news: Kagome was going to die tonight. Sango got up and started to walk to Inu-Yahsa's tree. 'He is NOT going to take this well.'

'Where is she? Is she awake yet? Will she be okay? She'd better not die on me!' Inu-Yasha hadn't stopped panicking since he had walked out of the hut. He didn't even hear Sango walk out. "Inu-Yasha?" That startled him enough to fall out of the tree. "Oww! What do you want bitch?!" She rolled her eyes. "Inu-Yasha, Kagome…Kagome is going to die. We can't save her." He looked as if he were in shock from the news. "Na-nani?" Sang o opened her mouth but was drowned out be a scream. "INU-YASHA!!!" Kagome yelled. "Go to her! She'll die faster if she keeps calling you like that!" Sango yelled with tears in her eyes. Inu-Yasha nodded and ran in to the yelling Kagome, all the time thinking: 'My Kagome, is going to, to die…'

"Kagome, what is it?" He tried to sound calm, even though he was shaking inside. "Inu-Yasha, Inu-Yasha, I…I'm going to die. And then I'll never see your face again, I'll never touch you again…" She started to cry, and Inu-Yasha was blinking back tears himself. He walked up to her and held her in his arms.
"I need you, you just, can't…can't leave me like this."
"Inu-Yasha, do you…still love Kikyo?" She asked quietly, controlling her tears and growing paler and weaker. The question surprised him. "Kagome, I never did. She was a relief from being rejected by both humans and demons. That is the reason our trust was so easily broken." She let go of him because she didn't have the strength to hold any longer. "Inu-Yasha?" He looked at her and saw her eyes get glossy.
"What…"
"I wanted to tell you that…that…" Suddenly leaned up and lightly kissed him.
"Arishito…" She leaned on him and closed her eyes never to open, again.
"KAGOME!!!" He shook her limp body like he could wake her up. She didn't even stir and her breathing had stopped. Inu-Yasha just wouldn't let her go. 'She's can't be gone! No! Not Kagome! My Kagome…' A few tears escaped and fell on her cheeks. He nuzzled her head one more time then got up to tell the rest the she had, had died. 'I can't say it…it can't be true.' As he walked he felt his sword, the tetsiga, rub against his leg. 'The tensega…I can save Kagome…' He picked her up and started into the next room to tell them his plan.

Miroku was holding a hysterically crying Sango, trying to confert her and Kirara was asleep with Shippo, curled up in Kagome's sleeping bag, still sniffing. Inu-Yasha took a deep breath. "She died." Sango gasped and, if possible, cried even harder. Miroku looked at the ground sadly. "Isn't there anything we can do Inu-Yasha?" He asked. "I'm going to use the tensiga to save her…"
